US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
Each week learners in this beginner's art class will meet to create artwork Masterpieces together! In this ongoing class, every painting will be inspired by farm animals. The perfect introduction to art and creativity. Ideal for Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students. One week we may draw & paint a kitten jumping on a straw bale and another week we may draw a duck in a pond. Every week will be a new masterpiece inspired farm life! Each class is a standalone class and learners can join at any time. Also I teach the class more than once per week so please feel free to switch to a different class time if your schedule doesn't allow you to join at the usual class time. This class is perfect for parents and learners with busy schedules as it's very flexible! There is a new animal every week to be confirmed on the classroom dashboard before each class. We learn about the farm animal whilst we draw and paint. We will also learn painting and drawing techniques (such as watercolor), whilst we build skills and confidence! Our mission is to learn, create, and have fun whilst we use our imagination! Examples of this class are as follows: ⇢ Week of 1 April: Cats ⇢ Week of 8 April: Goats ⇢ Week of 15 April: Horses ⇢ Week of 22 April: Sheepdogs This is an interactive class, perfect for learners who love art and farm animals. It is ideal for building practical art and drawing skills, as well as artistic confidence. On the Farm Art will allow learners to share their passion with others and fine-tune their observational skills. It is also great for listening, communication and comprehension skills. We sometimes listen to classical music in the background, such as Mozart, to help with learners' development (improves listening skills, brain function and creativity). I will be giving simplified step by step instructions for each week’s subject. I use a teaching technique called directed drawing. I simplify the drawings down into simple lines and shapes and show how to draw each step of the way. Students will also be encouraged to be creative and add their unique touch and style to paintings! I look forward to supporting each learner in their own individual artistic and learning journey. Every child is an artist and every child is talented. My goal is to foster this uniqueness and help build learner's self-confidence. The subject and supply list will be posted in advance each week. However, the basic supplies to have on hand are listed in the supplies section below. We often use acrylic paint or watercolors. Although I recommend art supplies for each class, learners are welcome to use whatever art supplies they prefer or have on hand. Please feel free to message me directly with any questions. Young Learners: Due to many requests, I have now opened my classes up to 4 year olds as well. :) If parents could kindly just be nearby to mute and unmute your learner when they would like to answer questions. Thanks very much! Also I recommend printing out the coloring pages for learners who prefer to color in. They are also welcome to follow my step by step instructions of the subject for that week if they prefer. Looking forward to seeing your learners in class! I can’t wait to meet your Farm Loving Artists in class!

I have advanced training in fine arts drawing and painting. I have also taught drawing and painting to University Students and have been a homeschool teacher for a small group of preschoolers. In my classroom children create their own masterpieces whilst they learn about an interesting and educational subject. I am passionate about teaching children through Art History and the Arts. Children can learn so much about our world through these subjects. History, Culture, and Geography are just three subjects that are incredibly interwoven within Art History and the Arts. Learning from this perspective makes learning fun and engaging. I love seeing children grow and encouraging them on their learning journey. My goal is to make every child feel special and that they can achieve anything to which they put their minds.
